Dunno I paid Dyno1 $150 for my kit, it works like a freaking champ.

I -finally- did my conversion this weekend. Everything seems to be A-OK and my brakes are now great and hopefully will be much more reliable from now on!

Friday, before 6 should be no problem, I usually leave here about 3:30 and my wife works for the school system so she gets off at 2:45 so getting to 801 before 6 should be no problem. Thursday we're in Bham all day so there's no telling when we'll get home. So let's pencil in Friday at say...

Hell yeah then, what's a good night and time? Being a typical male I have no clue what is on my calendar I just wait for my wife to remind me, I do know the 9th I have to go to B'ham with her and the kid so the 9th is out, I know that much hah! And Old Rasputin is one of my favorite beers of...

I work near Bob Wallace and the Parkway so 801 Franklin is like a few blocks from work. Yeah meeting up for a good brew (I'm also a regular on homebrewtalk.com) is always something I'm down with :D Does 801 Franklin have a good selection of beer? I haven't raced all year, just not a good...

Yeah sometimes you look at something and the (wrong) solution is so obvious you just don't see the REAL solution. I was actually in IRC describing my problem to a car buddy from another forum (Josh the owner of 67-72chevytrucks.com) when I was like "duh I know exactly why it failed today and...

The little tube from the top of the intake to the PCV valve. At first I teed off right at the pcv valve but the hose had a hard turn at the top. When the car got hot the bend kinked shut. So I moved the T to the TOP and pointed it like this: LINE TO BRAKES=====T====HARD LINE TO THE MANIFOLD...

So I have had the kit sitting here for a couple months but we've had nothing but 95+ degree days and working in my garage in that heat is just not something I want to do. So today we were forecasted for 82 as a high, and I got my swap done. The pedal is a pain to swap, golly damn. Also the...

Damnit why didn't Ebay send me the usual "an item you're bidding on is ending soon" emails, I was gonna setup a snipe for just a bit over $300, oh well my loss. If the winner welches on you send me a PM :)

That's hard to say without seeing it in person. My logic goes like this: a 98 S10 is worth peanuts, maybe what, $2500? A GN drivetrain is worth maybe $3K or so? The labor to do the swap another $1000-1500 so I'd say it'd be hard to justify more than 6 or 7K for it. Sure it's a nice sleeper...

My thinking is, for that kind of cash you can probably get a TType or GN in decent shape that's -not- a swap, or a Typhoon/Syclone that's also not a swap but in good shape. Just my .02. I think this is a kickass swap and I applaud it, but there's no way in heck I'd drop 10 large on it.

Pm sent, about 11 miles from exit 351 in Athens AL :)

Oh god help, that color owns me. That would be the perfect car if it had the big bench seat up front that I always loved in the non GN cars. Love my GN but god are those factory seats not the most comfortable.

Yeah wouldn't mind having them, figure if I win the auction I'll throw the GNX styles up for sale and call it a sign :)

I threw a bid down :) I have 6 15x7 GNX styles in the garage but these + stocks up front just somehow sound cooler.
